yes. i can do the stuff myself, and find the parts myself. no need for adam to do my dirty work for me.
the stalling issue was a vaccum leak at the throttle body coupler. i do seem to have a problem with the coolant temp sensor plug. everytime i wiggle the plug, it seems to want to misfire.
i was thinking about doing a metal headgasket, and studs, but i was wondering if my stock head gasket would last at all. i will be running an air fuel controller so that wont be an issue.
